PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_GETPSHAPOSIXPProgrammer'PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_GETPSHARED(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       pthread_barrierattr_getpshared,	pthread_barrierattr_setpshared	—  get
       and set the process-shared attribute of the barrier attributes object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <pthread.h>

       int pthread_barrierattr_getpshared(const pthread_barrierattr_t
	   *restrict attr, int *restrict pshared);
       int pthread_barrierattr_setpshared(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr,
	   int pshared);

DESCRIPTION
       The pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() function shall obtain the value of
       the process-shared attribute from the attributes object	referenced  by
       attr.   The  pthread_barrierattr_setpshared()  function	shall  set the
       process-shared attribute in an initialized attributes object referenced
       by attr.

       The process-shared attribute is set to PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to permit
       a barrier to be operated upon by any thread that has access to the mem‐
       ory  where the barrier is allocated. If the process-shared attribute is
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE, the barrier shall only	be  operated  upon  by
       threads	created within the same process as the thread that initialized
       the barrier; if threads of different processes attempt  to  operate  on
       such  a	barrier,  the  behavior is undefined. The default value of the
       attribute   shall   be	 PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.    Both    constants
       PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED	and  PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE  are  defined  in
       <pthread.h>.

       Additional attributes, their default values, and the names of the asso‐
       ciated  functions to get and set those attribute values are implementa‐
       tion-defined.

       The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the	attr  argument
       to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared() or pthread_barrierattr_setpshared()
       does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object.

RETURN VALUE
       If  successful,	the  pthread_barrierattr_getpshared()  function	 shall
       return zero and store the value of the process-shared attribute of attr
       into the object referenced by  the  pshared  parameter.	Otherwise,  an
       error number shall be returned to indicate the error.

       If  successful,	the  pthread_barrierattr_setpshared()  function	 shall
       return zero; otherwise, an error number shall be returned  to  indicate
       the error.

ERRORS
       The pthread_barrierattr_setpshared() function may fail if:

       EINVAL The  new value specified for the process-shared attribute is not
	      one   of	 the   legal	values	  PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED    or
	      PTHREAD_PROCESS_PRIVATE.

       These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       The   pthread_barrierattr_getpshared()	and  pthread_barrierattr_setp‐
       shared() functions are part of the Thread  Process-Shared  Synchroniza‐
       tion option and need not be provided on all implementations.

RATIONALE
       If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argu‐
       ment to pthread_barrierattr_getpshared()	 or  pthread_barrierattr_setp‐
       shared() does not refer to an initialized barrier attributes object, it
       is recommended that the function should fail  and  report  an  [EINVAL]
       error.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
